PM- 15 Fields Little Valley run. Decided to get some much needed sleep this morning before getting up for the x-country race and did the run this evening. Had planned on hitting some Tempo type of stuff in the run. Initially however, I thought I might go long today, but decided that 15 with some quality is better than 20'ish of crap. So... Started off with 3 into the fields of warmup and then decided to hit 6:00 for the middle 9. Usually I don't just plan my run on a whim like this, but I was a little all over this week and wanted to end it with something worthwhile'ish. Once again, so... I didn't quite hit 6:00, but was at 6:10 pretty much the whole 9. Then brought it back in. I did lose some time on one mile when I stopped to let a skunk pass. It was dark and I barely saw him before I ran right on top of him. Overall, happy with a decent, but not great, run to end the week. Made it through the week. That is about what it came to. School started, x-country in full swing, dehydrated myself one too many times (dropped to 149 before Sat run and came back at 145), and just wasn't feeling positive, so I am happy I made it through the week. Goals for next week: Get back into the groove - that is my theme for next week. Be Positive and have fun at school, running, with my family all that stuff, and let this take to a good Happy Place that will create a good groove for me. |
